Carnivore Quiche (Bacon & Beef Bake)!

🧈 Carnivore Quiche (Bacon & Beef Bake)

This dish is a high-protein, high-fat breakfast or dinner favorite for anyone following the Carnivore or Keto lifestyle. It’s loaded with crispy bacon, juicy ground beef, and creamy eggs — no crust, no veggies, just pure flavor.

🥓 Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef

• 6–8 slices bacon, chopped

• 6 large eggs

• 1 cup heavy cream (or use ½ cup cream + ½ cup cream cheese for extra richness)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (optional for keto; omit for strict carnivore)

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper (optional)

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for flavor boost)

🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
   Grease a 9-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

2. Cook the bacon:
   In a skillet, fry bacon pieces until crispy. Remove and set aside.

3. Brown the beef:
   In the same skillet (using the bacon fat), cook ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

4. Combine:
   Add the cooked bacon back into the beef. Mix well.

5. Whisk eggs & cream:
   In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream (and cheese if using).

6. Assemble:
   Pour the beef and bacon mixture into the baking dish, spreading evenly.
   Then pour the egg mixture over it, letting it settle into the meat.

7. Bake:
   Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.

8. Cool & serve:
   Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy hot or chilled — it’s great both ways!
